      Many protesters decided to seek medical attention, which meant medics triaged them and led them out to ambulances. This does mean they can face charges (and probably will), but many said it was better than getting charged AND getting beaten up by the police.pic.twitter.com/K97LTrvUtS

      I reaaaaally have to get some sleep as I’ve slept 1.5 hours since getting here but I’ll post more updates later. Thank you for your concern everyone! I’m totally fine, just tired.

      Gyms that became dorms for the PolyU protesters have now been almost entirely abandoned. It’s eerie.pic.twitter.com/zs3SdossLb

      This took about 5 mins of casual looking the other day to collect: all the less lethal projectiles used by the police when clashes went on for hours & hours at PolyU. From L to R: old rubber bullet, new rubber bullet, tear gas, tear gas, tear gas, tear gas, tear gas, foam round.pic.twitter.com/NMiALdyzaY

      Food is running low but there is still probably enough left to last the remaining people a few days. Snack scavenging has become my favorite pastime. (I’m fine! I took my first shower since arriving and feel like a million very tired bucks.)

      Protester gave a press conference. He says he is part of a team of ~40 who have unanimously decided to stay until the end and to fight, with no plans to surrender or to escape. He’s 16. The youngest in his group is 12. When asked why they haven’t left: “We have a chance to win.”pic.twitter.com/SSivlAS2Yp

      Spoke to some hardcore frontline protesters aged 16, 17 & 20. They said they’d rather get shot & die than get arrested, bc you don’t know what you’d face. They joked that if the police threatened to shoot (live rounds), they’d point to their foreheads & ask for them to aim there.pic.twitter.com/Xn1r58k9UG

      Earlier: this is what it’s like when you try to take photos of the police from campus or whenever you simply stand somewhere on campus visible to officers standing guard. They’re far away but I assume they have binoculars and can see we are press.pic.twitter.com/HYvLs35QUm

      The police were also taunting PolyU protesters by shining lights, playing loud music and telling them to come out.pic.twitter.com/Of4LOOGeed

      They had been taunting protesters yesterday too, from a distance close enough for me to yell that we (a group of photographers) were journalists. “So you say you’re a journalist then you’re journalist?! Come down!”

      All day there had been a slow trickle of protesters asking for medical help, effectively surrendering themselves. I’d estimate 50 left that way; there must be around ~100 left on campus. This, btw, that the food supply is becoming less & less of a problem w/ fewer mouths to feed.pic.twitter.com/Cecq1f86BQ
